Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals from disadvantaged populations who experience health inequities throughout their life course.
Not a fit: Patients who are not part of disadvantaged populations or who do not experience significant health inequities may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to significant improvements in health equity for disadvantaged populations.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in using community-engaged approaches to address health disparities, indicating that this methodology is promising.
